yes. if it has to be said "gir lions are smaller than south and east african lions" and "equal in size to west and central african lions". not smaller than all african cousins. once asiatic lions are massive (not talking about gir lions)

Even so, the Buffalo are still outsized compared to Capes.

Those stray ones are not abundant but low in number (still lions prey though). Like the problems you stated, they don't live long enough and usually die by eating plastic and shit when they don't get enough food and lions mostly target abundant cattle and buffalo of farmers (like those above) which are tied in the veranda of homes with a rope and hence they can't run... (like this) It is same inside sanctuary with maldhari cattle in thorny bomas.
